Mind Mischief – Tame Impala
——————————————————————————-
Tabbed by: Tim van Kester
Tuning: D (whole step down)
This is a tab for the song Mind Mischief by Tame Impala. Fun song to play.
I’m not really sure about the chords, since I kinda suck in figuring out the
chords for every song I tabbed out so far.
Please post a comment when you have suggestions!

Intro/ Main riff
e|—————————————————————————|

G|-5–6—-8h10—8–6–8—5h6p5–5—————————————–|
D|-6–8~—————————6~—————————————-|
A|—————————————————————————|
E|—————————————————————————|
Around 1:35, he still plays the main riff, but also this is played:
e|—————————————————————————|
B|-8h9–9–9–9—8—6–6–6–64—–8h9–9–9–9—8—6–6–6–64——-|
G|—————————————————————————|
D|—————————————————————————|

G|—————————————————————————|
D|—————————————————————————|
A|—————————————————————————|
E|—————————————————————————|
Directly after that, this riff is played, with some overdrive:
e|———————————————|
B|———————————————|
G|———8/10—8—————————-|
D|-6–8~————-8—-6-6-6-6-6——6—–|
A|———————————–6h8—6h8-|
E|———————————————|
This is repeated four times, where the last time misses the ‘hammer-on’ part.
Return to the main riff for a while, then:
e|-8——6——8——6——8——6——8——6————————|
B|-9——8——9——8——9——8——9——8————————|
G|-10—–8——10—–8——10—–8——10—–8————————|
D|-10—–8——10—–8——10—–8——10—–8————————|
A|-8——6——8——6——8——6——8——6————————|
E|—————————————————————————|
After that, this riff is played again:
e|———————————————|
B|———————————————|
G|———8/10—8—————————-|
D|-6–8~————-8—-6-6-6-6-6——6—–|
A|———————————–6h8—6h8-|
E|———————————————|
Same number of repeats as before.
e|—————8——6——8——6——8——6——8——6———-|
B|—————9——8——9——8——9——8——9——8———-|
G|-7/97~——–10—–8——10—–8——10—–8——10—–8———-|
D|—————10—–8——10—–8——10—–8——10—–8———-|
A|—————8——6——8——6——8——6——8——6———-|
E|—————————————————————————|
These chords go on for a while. I’m sorry, but I’m too lazy to count them.
When he plays the Fm for the third time, this riff comes in:
e|—————————————————————————|
B|-8h9-9-8h9p86—-4h6-6-4h6p4——–8h9-9-8h9p86—-4h6-6-4h6p4———-|
G|——————————5~———————————-5~——-|
D|———————————————————————-8–6~|
A|—————————————————————————|
E|—————————————————————————|
Somewhere around 4:03, this lick is also played twice…
e|——————|
B|——————|
G|-/10—8–6—5~–|
D|——————|
A|——————|
E|——————|
And the song ends with…
e|———————————-|
B|———————————-|
G|———————————-|
D|-6–8~—————————-|
A|———/8—6——————-|
E|—————–6—-4-4-4-4-4~–|
